Blatter Artificial turf has been around now for several decades. It can be argued that artificial turf was originally developed to address the limitations of natural grass. However, the earliest versions were not designed for football and changed the game dramatically. Therefore, football never thoroughly embraced the idea of high-level competition matches on artificial surfaces. The breakthrough came when manufacturers started to develop surfaces specifically designed for football. Manufacturers have now developed a turf that mirrors real grass. In order to get away from the short, tightly packed matting of the earlier generation, nowadays, the concept is to produce longer and more thinly spaced tufts and most of the systems are infilled with sand for support and rubber granules to give bounce. This newest generation of artificial turf has proven to be the most favourable for football to date. FIFA realised that, as the game’s global popularity increases, so the climate plays a greater part in limiting its development. Players in countries at the extreme ends of the temperature range will not necessarily benefit from the predominanace of natural grass turf. With the deployment of football turf, FIFA has recognised the enormous benefits artificial pitches would bring to the global development of football, not only because artificial turf can be used in more extreme climates, but because where a pitch is used intensively it can be used almost 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Due to the numerous manufacturers and installers involved worldwide, all using slightly differ- ent systems, the performance of artificial pitches could be extremely variable. Therefore FIFA, as the world governing body of football, wants to ensure that there is a recognised interna- tional standard for football turf pitches and in 2001 introduced, the FIFA Quality Concept for Football Turf. This quality testing scheme uses real turf as its benchmark and awards the FIFA RECOMMENDED Marks to those pitches that meet the very stringent quality criteria. FIFA now feels it is appropriate to use “Football Turf“ as the designation for products installed as part of the FIFA Quality Concept. The main reasons for this are because it emphasizes the high-quality pitches that are certified as part of the programme and because the playing characteristics on “Football Turf“ mirror the quality of natural grass pitches, which is required to play the game on a very high level. Joseph S. Blatter (FIFA President) 50924_fifa_quality_96s.qxd 10.2.2006 15:53 Uhr Seite 3 FOOTBALL TURF Many different products exist on the market. An example of a football turf system may be built up as follows. Rubber particle infill River sand infill Artificial turf Asphalt layer (optional) Aggregate (under-base) Football turf enables millions of footballers around the world to indulge in their favourite sport all year round, and, more importantly, to do so in the best possible conditions. No more unplayable pitches. No more abandoned matches. 50924_fifa_inhv_lizenznehm.qxd 21.2.2006 16:14 Uhr Seite 1 1.➜ ADVANTAGES OF MODERN FOOTBALL TURF 2.➜ FIFA QUALITY CONCEPT FOR FOOTBALL TURF 3.➜ FIFA CERTIFICATION 4.➜ BENEFITS OF A FIFA RECOMMENDED FOOTBALL PITCH 5.➜ THE TESTS 6.➜ MAINTENANCE OF A FOOTBALL TURF FIELD 7.➜ FIFA QUALITY CONCEPT LICENSING PROGRAMME 8.➜ ADVISORY NOTE WHEN TENDERING FOR A FIFA RECOMMENDED FIELD 9.➜ COMPETITION REGULATIONS 10.➜ FUTURE STEPS 11.➜ COMMUNICATION 12.➜ CONTACT 50924_fifa_quality_95s.qxd 16.1.2006 9:54 Uhr Seite 5 ➜ ADVANTAGES OF MODERN FOOTBALL TURF ➜ RESISTANCE TO DIFFICULT CLIMATIC CONDITIONS RESISTANCE TO DIFFICULT CLIMATIC CONDITIONS Many regions of the world suffer from extreme climatic conditions and as a result are often without adequate natural grass pitches. Either the climate makes the growth and maintenance of such fields a burden or the financial resources are limited. Furthermore, the demand on these pitches is quite high and the resulting mix often leaves the pitches in poor condition. The advantage of artificial turf in these regions is more than evident. Francisco “Paquito” García Coach Villarreal CF, Season 2003/2004 “… but I think this is amazing for both climates, south or north, sunny or rainy, so it’s a save bet.” 50924_fifa_quality_95s.qxd 16.1.2006 9:54 Uhr Seite 6 ➜ ADVANTAGES OF MODERN FOOTBALL TURF ➜ IDEAL FOR COVERED OR STEEP-SIDED STADIA IDEAL FOR COVERED OR STEEP-SIDED STADIA Stadium construction is often influenced by the need to adjust designs for the installation of natural grass for international football. Natural grass needs sufficient sunlight, wind and rain to grow and thrive. However, the trend towards building steep-sided stadia with roofs and terraces for additional spectator comfort creates an environment better suited to football turf. The newest generation of artificial surfaces combines the advantages of play- ing characteristics similar to natural turf, including player comfort and safety, with independence from sunlight, wind and rain. Jarmo Koskinen Stadium Manager, Finnair Stadium “… it’s also an architectural question. In this stadium we have a big roof for the main stand and therefore the shadow comes to the pitch area at around 11 a.m. … and then half of the pitch is lacking the sunshine …” 50924_fifa_quality_95s.qxd 16.1.2006 9:54 Uhr Seite 7 ➜ ADVANTAGES OF MODERN FOOTBALL TURF ➜ LOW MAINTENANCE COSTS LOW MAINTENANCE COSTS The new generation of artificial surfaces is easier to maintain than natural grass fields. Artificial it may be, but it cannot just be installed and left to its own devices. The groundsman, whose day-to-day job will change and who will have to learn a whole new set of maintenance techniques, is one of the main beneficiaries of an artificial surface. The time for maintenance is much lower and thus costs for a football turf field can be significantly reduced. Marko Priitsku Groundsman, Finnair Stadium “… If I had only this pitch, it’d take me 1-2 hours a day. The other pitches with natural turf take the rest of the day.” 50924_fifa_quality_95s.qxd 16.1.2006 9:54 Uhr Seite 8 ➜ ADVANTAGES OF MODERN FOOTBALL TURF ➜ LONGER PLAYING HOURS LONGER PLAYING HOURS Most of the football turf fields are owned by municipalities and football clubs who recognise that an artificial pitch can be used almost 24 hours a day and seven days a week since it does not need time to recover. Due to the increased longevity, fewer playing fields are required. Juan Carlos Garrido Director of Football Academy, Villarreal CF “… So it’s a surface you can use the whole day, a major advantage … having an artificial turf, especially one like this, is one of the most important advantages you can think of for development and training. It’s essential …” 50924_fifa_quality_95s.qxd 16.1.2006 9:54 Uhr Seite 9 ➜ ADVANTAGES OF MODERN FOOTBALL TURF ➜ MULTI-USAGE MULTI-USAGE Today, the financial situation has become one of the most important compo- nents of any football club. In order to cover the increasing costs, additional revenue streams are necessary. The newest generation of artificial surfaces with playing characteristics similar to natural turf, low maintenance, longer playing hours and the multi-usage possibilities meets the demands of a modern football field. It can be used almost 24 hours a day and seven days a week. In addition to training sessions and matches of various teams, it can be hired out to companies and municipalities for all kind of events. Mario Jiménez Commercial Manager, Saprissa Stadium “… Besides hosting FIFA World Cup qualification matches, we have successfully held concerts and trade-shows on this field. We have almost recouped the investment within a year …” 50924_fifa_quality_95s.qxd 16.1.2006 9:54 Uhr Seite 10 ➜ ADVANTAGES OF MODERN FOOTBALL TURF ➜ IMPROVED AND CONSISTENT PLAYING CONDITIONS IMPROVED AND CONSISTENT PLAYING CONDITIONS As the game’s global popularity increases, the climate plays a greater part in limiting its development. In adverse weather conditions, the use of natural grass pitches is limited and the performance suffers. Manufacturers have now developed football turf products that mirror the playing characteristics of real grass and are resistant to difficult climates. FIFA has recognised that all year round and improved and consistent playing conditions worldwide bring enormous benefits to the global development of football. Mika Lehkosvo Youth Coach, HJK Helsinki ”… this kind of football turf gives us the opportunity here in Finland to develop players almost all year round …” 50924_fifa_quality_96s.qxd 10.2.2006 15:53 Uhr Seite 11 ➜ FIFA QUALITY CONCEPT FOR FOOTBALL TURF The FIFA Quality Concept for Football Turf was developed to standardise the quality and safety of artificial turf for football players, and to encourage further developments in artificial turf technology. There are a number of manufacturers and installers of artificial turf worldwide, and because many of them use different systems, synthetic turf exists in a variety of different technical ver- sions. As a result, the performance of artificial turf products can be extremely variable and not all are advantageous to a player’s health, or the quality of the game. This project is a rigorous test programme for artificial surfaces whereby successful manufac- turers will be able to enter into a licensing programme for the use of the prestigious FIFA RE- COMMENDED marks. Only artificial turf of the best quality with the highest technical stan- dards will be able to gain a FIFA RECOMMENDED endorsement. Football pitches that meet the quality criteria for a FIFA RECOMMENDED mark combine the advantages of the playing char- acteristics of natural turf with the highest level of comfort and safety for the players, while at the same time allowing for low maintenance and extended usage of the pitch.

  • Reading Worksheet: the First Football Rules
    The First Football Rules: Reading Worksheet Modern football began in English public (private) schools in the early 1800s. At Eaton and Harrow ‘houses’ or teams competed against each other. From the 1840s house teams begam wearing different coloured shirts. Many of the football-playing schoolboys went on to the two English universities: Oxford and Cambridge. The problem was that students from the different schools played with different rules and regulations. Cambridge Rules In 1848 Cambridge University introduced a common set of rules. After every goal the teams changed ends. You could catch the ball if it came directly from another player's foot. You could not touch the ball coming from the direction of your own goal until an opponent touched it. The Cambridge Rules included two key concepts. The first was the idea of the ‘foul’ and ‘foul play’. The other was that the ball was only ‘in play’ inside a defined area called the pitch. Sheffield Rules In 1857 Sheffield FC started. It is the oldest surviving football club in the world. Sheffield played with the Cambridge rules but made changes: Pushing with the hands was permitted. Kicking, tripping and running with the ball in the hands was not allowed. There was no limit on the number of players, or the size and shape of ball. There were no referees. The two team captains settled any dispute. Each player wore a cap. One team wore red caps and the other wore blue. Quick Check: True or False? 1. Organised team football was first played at the universities. 2.

  • An Exploration of the Nondiegetic1 in Soccer Video Games
    Sociology of Sport Journal, 2009, 26, 67-88 © 2009 Human Kinetics, Inc. Starting at “Start”: An Exploration of the Nondiegetic1 in Soccer Video Games Steven Craig Conway University of Bedfordshire This article is a critical qualitative textual analysis of a selection of soccer video games, focusing on the representational and functional aspects of machine actions outside the game (Galloway, 2006) as illustrated by the “Introductory Video” and “Start Menu.” I analyze the figurative and ludic implications of these components comparatively, illustrating their crucial role in configuring audience expectations and pleasures for the game genre as well as for game play. By doing so I hope to illumi- nate how the socio-ideological values of sport video games (and video games in gen- eral) are not only exhibited through the main content of the game but also through something as simple as the start screen. This research concludes by examining what these nongame spaces have to tell us about representations of soccer in new media, and how these mediations affect our understanding of the sport’s culture. Cet article constitue une analyse textuelle critique d’une sélection de jeux vidéo sur le soccer. L’analyse est centrée sur les aspects fonctionnels et représentationnels des actions en dehors du jeu (Galloway, 2006) telles qu’on les retrouve dans la vidéo d’introduction et le menu « Débuter ». J’analyse les implications figuratives et ludiques de ces composantes et j’illustre leur rôle crucial de configuration des attentes et des plaisirs des joueurs. En se faisant, j’espère éclairer la façon dont les valeurs socio-idéologiques des jeux vidéo sur le sport sont non seulement exposées dans le jeu mais aussi dans une chose aussi simple que l’écran de départ.
